    This is a follow-up of this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeEats/comments/1nqzvxi/vermicellet%C3%B6rtchen_with_a_cappuccino/](https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeEats/comments/1nqzvxi/vermicellet%C3%B6rtchen_with_a_cappuccino/)

    The comment about what it is from there:

    >A Vermicelletörtchen is a small tartlet or pastry filled with sweet chestnut purée, typically pressed through a sieve so it looks like thin noodles (hence the name Vermicelli, borrowed from Italian pasta, but lit. meaning little worms 😉

    >It’s usually served in a little tart shell like shown here, or also with meringue, whipped cream or ice cream.

    >It’s very popular in Switzerland during the autumn chestnut season.
